They change when you are very young
pretty much every baby is born with blue eyes. Although, strictly, that's because blue eyes are unpigmented and pigment develops with age.

Quite possibly

Although it's just melanin levels, like skin colour, so I guess they could change
I don't really know.

skin colour doesn't change much as you age though does it?

I don't know, to be honest.
I think it can occasionally

the idea of you having a gf is indeed "total tosh".

we've been having a rough patch lately, since i told her she looked like she got off the sunshine bus, not sure the relationship's going to make it

thanks for rubbing it in

It's not.
They used to be blue and now they are green. Granted, it's because (if you look very closely) there is a lot more yellow than there used to be, so the overall effect is 'green eyes'. When you get close up it's all like fibres isn't it. Well the fibres are still kind of blue, but there are also loads of yellow speckles. So if you see me you will say I have green eyes. If you use a magnifying glass you'll say I have a bit of blue eyes with lots of yellow speckles.

I'm dying, basically.

Mine, like my hair, have definitely got darker with age.
I know this due to photos and a mirror and no amount of Wikipedia articals will convince me otherwise.
